There are so many ways the player can go and there is no clear objective about what the player should do. I was a bit confused at first deciding where to go. There were nothing happening along the way. There was no objective about telling to go to whatever destination that I didn't know about. But in the end something finally happened and I can finish the game.
The level looks unnecessary big. If every path are necessary then this game is not well informed.
However, the controls is well and I like how there are checkpoints.
Cute concept. Felt a bit different having a follower in a platformer and I liked it. The dash made it better as well. The movement didn't feel too great though. It was very floaty and the acceleration felt weird. However, I played through it and enjoyed it :)
Fun game! The dash makes for some interesting movement, but you can slow down really fast. It doesn't really feel that nice to move, because it slows down real fast and speeds up real slow. Still, I enjoyed playing it.
This was great! I would say that the acceleration rate felt a bit sluggish, but as soon as you've gotten goin', it feels good.
A cute platformer.
Consider adding sounds and music, to install a mood, and more juice.
(There were some performance issue when coming back to his house, but was still playable)
Overall, well done.
A really cool platforming experience. I love when i can build my momentum and speed up really fast. I would love to see more of that, but that could just be me. Well, the sounds are non existent but asides from that overall just a good game.
Overall solid game! The art was simple yet did it's job and the platforming movement felt surprisingly fluid for something made for just a game jam! Well done!
I was able to complete this and here are my thoughts
* Thank you for giving very generous checkpoints - that was great!
* Music / sound either wasn't included or just didnt' work for me but it would have been nice to have some sound.
* I leveraged the AI companion having better jump than me to save myself multiple times - I think this is a *feature* but wasn't sure, for example, I would be falling towards spikes while she was making it over succesfully so I just Q'd to her :)
overall nice job getting it submitted!
congrats for submision, i dont know what have to do
A nice simple game to play. I liked the dialogue system and also the AI.
Overall feel is good . You add some more stuff like sounds. Really like the dialouge boxes art
A nice simple platforming game. Making long jumps by using dash is fun. Character controls is very fluid and responsive. Nice work ^^
